2024-07-19 23:59:06 +0000 UTCI'm going to defend Nate on his pronunciation of Super Saiyan because saying "Saiyan" like that is more accurate to the Japanese pronunciation than the Americanized "Sei-an" pronunciation (though in Japanese they call it "Saiyajin" due to how referring to an ethnic group of people is obviously written differently than in English).

2024-07-19 23:57:45 +0000 UTCI'm gonna defend Nate a bit here. Super Cyan is a thing. Sort of. Cyan is a fancy blue. And Super Saiyan Blue is a real thing... So Super Cyan. This won't happen often.

2024-07-16 18:06:06 +0000 UTCIt sucks the snake thing didn’t work, because we didn’t get to see the Ryukyu release the albino gorillas that feed on snake meat afterwards to deal with the reptile issue.
